Thinking Phone Networks, the smart choice in cloud unified communications (UC), today announced its participation at the 2013 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, NV, February 27 - March 1, 2013. The company will be launching its new ThinkLink channel application, speaking on the panel "Is Video the New Voice ," and exhibiting at booth #3025.

As the only networking and educational event in the communications industry dedicated to the indirect sales channel, the Channel Partners Conference & Expo attracts approximately 3,000 prominent industry professionals.

Thinking Phone Networks works with its channel partners to quickly and easily move their business to the cloud and maximize revenues from new, high-margin UC services spanning IP voice, video, mobility, analytics, presence/instant messaging, contact center, unified messaging, and conferencing. According to leading analysts such as Gartner, Inc., Infonetics, Frost & Sullivan and Constellation Research, communications and business applications are increasingly being delivered from the cloud. This fundamental shift represents a tremendous opportunity for channel organizations, and Thinking Phone Networks is committed to helping its partners take advantage of this disruptive market force to drive new business.

"We're excited to be at Channel Partners this year. On the heels of our recent designation as a Gartner UCaaS Magic Quadrant 'Leader,' we've seen tremendous interest from the channel in our ThinkingSuite cloud services," said Carl Moore, Vice President of Business Development at Thinking Phone Networks. "Channel Partners is the ideal venue for us to introduce ThinkLink. With this innovative mobile app, we can keep our growing channel community up-to-speed on developments that will help them drive more business from the exploding cloud UC market."
ThinkLink, the first app of its kind from a UC as a Service (UCaaS) provider, delivers real-time program highlights, company news, product updates, and sales tools directly into the hands of Thinking Phone Networks' cloud channel partners.

Thinking Phone Networks will also be participating on a panel, "Is Video the New Voice," co-sponsored by master agent Intelisys and taking place Wednesday, February 28th, at 12:00 Noon (PST) at the Venetian Hotel. As part of the panel, Mr. Moore will explore the benefits of deploying cloud video bridging solutions and the high ROI that can be gained by integrating such services into a comprehensive cloud UC deployment strategy.

Conference attendees are invited to stop by Thinking Phone Networks' booth #3025 to learn about the smartest product, smartest pricing and smartest commissions in the cloud-based UC industry. They will also be able to see ThinkLink in action and jump-start their UCaaS business by signing up for the app.
